Journal entry structure

(5 minute activity)

This is where you write a few notes about what happened in in your workshop session. Each week answer the following questions in a sentence or two.

What did I DO in class?

What did I find most interesting?

What specifically is interesting to me about it?

Describe the part of class that is most relevant to my life or studies.

Then think about things you don't understand yet or what to know more of. If this is hard, you REALLY need to do it. You could face this question, decided it's too hard and then feel bad about that for a while, or you could put in the 30 second it will take to come up with an answer and massively increase your learning.

What question or questions do I want to ask now about something in the session? How might I find the answer

OR

2. What topic am I going to follow up on in some way and how will I do it?

(This might be as simple as searching for an explainer video, although you need to define exactly what that topic is! Or if you know, just do the quick search now and put a link to what you find here, even if you don't watch it yet.)

About the course journal

You will use this to track things you're doing, thinking, sketching, and making as a record for yourself and to get feedback from others.

You'll be required to add an entry in each tutorial class but you should use it to keep track of other activities in the course.

Add the link to your tumblr in the appropriate padlet for your class so others can see it.

Keeping records in this tumblr is also a resource that your instructors can see that can improve your grades if something is unclear in your submitted assessments. The instructor can have a look at your working notes to discover extra ideas, development, and effort you have put into your assessment work.
